Remote thread infos

Hi
The remote protocol can ask for thread info and more info (qThreadExtraInfo).
I couldn't find an explicit description about these fields in the manual.
However in the source code these fields are evaluated as follows:
sprintf(&display_buf[n], " State: %s,", threadinfo.display);
sprintf(&display_buf[n], " Priority: %s", threadinfo.more_display);
It's quite impossible to use these fields for other info as they are explicitely
prepended with "State" and "Priority". But the manual says: "... may
contain anything that the target OS thinks is interesting for gdb to tell
the user about the thread." Is there a possibility to use these texts
from the CLI as well as MI without the prepended strings? If not
shouldn't the manual say what these texts are for?
I know that I can take the strings and remove the leading word, I
just thought I mention this inconsistency with the manual.
Thanks
bye Fabi
